Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence.Please allow me to introduce myself.I am Sgt. Charles Moore, a US Marine Sgt.serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment that Patrols the helmand province, Afghanistan. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you.

I am presently in Afghanistan and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $14.5m (Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in US DOLLARS was discovered and concealed in barrels at a location in helman province when we conducted a foot patrol and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hellhole.The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a Canadian contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, who before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Afghanistan for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavor to contact me immediately and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.

Respectfully,
Sgt. Charles Moore,
United States Marine Corps. Afghanistan

Considering you can't ID the perp, and the fact he'll likely be in an internet cafe somewhere in West Africa, 'catching' isn't going to be on the agenda. Wasting his time is good, though you need to do it safely. I'm sure the regulars here will tell you more about that aspect.

I thought maybe I could have some fun with this African Spammer and see how dumb and greedy he is.
I spent 30 seconds creating a free Hushmail account and sent him the following. Let' see if he responds........................

Dear, Sgt. Charles Moore.

I would be more than interested to help you get $14.5m.
What would be my reward for helping you in this bold endevour? I
can only assume it would be a percentage of the $14.5m how much
would this be to make it worth my while?
Please do not hesitate to contact me so we can discuss this matter
further.

Kindest Regards

Leroy Jethro Gibbs
